Inset (snug fit)

Connection kind inset (category static, DSL name inset, API v1)

Interlocking junction: the driven part fits into the anchor. v1 places the driven flush against a named anchor face (align: "center" for a concentric let-in). Zero gap by default.

Accepted ports

• undefined.undefined → undefined.undefined

Parameters

• `face` — Which face of the ANCHOR (local frame) the driven part is inset against: 'top' | 'bottom' | 'front' | 'back' | 'left' | 'right'. Default 'top'. Placed flush (gap 0).
• `align` — In-plane alignment: 'flush' (default, centered on the face), 'center' (concentric — driven centered on the anchor, for a true let-in panel), or a numeric [x, y, z] extra world offset (mm).
• `gap` — Clearance left between the mating faces (mm). Default 0.
• `offset` — [dx, dy, dz] slide of the driven part along the joint face (mm). Default [0, 0, 0].
• `rotationDeg` — [rx, ry, rz] orientation of the driven part in degrees. Default [0, 0, 0].

Parameters schema

Kinematics

None. An inset is static: it propagates no signal. It fixes geometry and connectivity and marks an interlocking joint.

Layout

This connection computes the driven component position from the anchor.

Example

// shelf board inset onto its rail, centered on the rail face
statics.inset(rail, shelf, { face: 'top' });
